Learning = Brickhouse Giveaway!

To celebrate I am giving away 2 skeins of Schaefer Yarn's Heather and the pattern to make my latest design Brickhouse! Leave a comment and share one of your favorite songs with me (I would love a link but it seems that comments won't post with links.... sorry!) before Tuesday October 6th. I'll use a random number generator and announce the lucky winner!

Teenage Dirtbag always has me singing along while appreciating that "I'm a middle-aged squeaky clean mummy" would be a more accurate version. But I wouldn't mind being a middle-aged shawl-knitting mummy... in Schaefer Yarn's Heather of course!

Brick House has always been one of my fav songs with a great memory. My girlfriend and I were out at the House of Blues one night and the group played Brick House and were looking for dancers to come up on stage. My girlfriend grabbed me and brought me up. Meanwhile our husbands were sitting there and someone made a comment and her husband said "that's my wife", then found out he was talking about me, my husband quickly said "That's MY wife" One of the best nights I ever had!

In honor of the pattern, I will say Foundations by Kate Nash. It's really quite down lyrics, but I LOVE the chorus, her voice and the music. I love listening to it over and over when I'm working on something. Not G rated though! Part of the chorus is: My fingertips are holding onto the cracks in our foundation,/ And I know that I should let go, but I can't./ And every time we fight I know it's not right,

I have many favorite songs, mostly oldies and frank sinatra lol... but one of my most favorites are "the way you look tonight" by frank sinatra! :D Thanks for the awesome giveaway!Zaneta superwoman_4002@yahoo.com

OK, I'll play along! ONe of my favorites is "Beer for My Horses" by Toby Keith and Willie Nelson. The video is super fun too! But I also love many of the songs I've seen posted here. I'm a huge Police fan, love the Beatles, Frank Sinatra, and Barenaked Ladies! And there are lots of songs posted here that bring back good memories. Thanks for providing a forum for us to share, and especially thanks for the giveaway!

Hmm, how is it that no one has mentioned Bobby Darin's classic "Mack the Knife"? Eh? Most upbeat, catchy song ever written about a serial killer. ::sings:: Oh the shark bites, with his teeth, dear/and he shos them pearly whi-ite!

Oooh - love the pattern, would love to try the yarn. I know intellectually that random can be first, last or middle, but somehow it feels like being last or near the end makes it very unlikely to win. But maybe being number 77 is lucky.
